In addition to reading Codependent no more, I just googled and found that there are groups for this. Could be worth some additional research, but really think that needs to be the focus of my next therapy session. I really need to work on this, continue to build my self esteem.
I think this is a good step. I'm a huge advocate for the book.
The online groups.. not so much. If you read the book - you know you can detach in love or detach in anger. I really strive for the 1st one and I find most people on the online boards do the 2nd.
I think we need to build our self esteem and put ourselves first.. but just like any other self help program, people can use it to justify hurting other people... and that's not right.
You're definitely heading in the right direction... but walk slowly and carefully.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
